Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Tuesday, October 21, 2025

John Catsimatidis, the Republican supermarket magnate and lifelong New Yorker, took to the airwaves of WABC-AM, the radio station he owns and where Curtis Sliwa hosts a show, to call for him to drop out. "Look, I love Curtis; we've worked together a lot," Catsimatidis bleated. "Curtis has to realize that he should love New York more than anything else, and it certainly looks like Curtis should pull out right now," the obese oligarch whined. Catsimatidis and some other Republicans have rallied behind Benedict Arnold Andrew Cuomo to sabotage Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani. Cuomo and his allies are pushing Sliwa to drop out after successfully getting Mayor Eric Adams to leave the race, arguing the disgraced ex-NYS governor could then consolidate opposition to the mild-mannered front-runner. Sliwa has dismissed Cuomo and his backers as he argues voters should have the last word when it comes to NYC's future.

Earlier this year, Curtis Sliwa reported that he was offered a multi-million dollar bribe to quit the NYC Mayoral race. Source: "Fkkk You to Bribes". And despite all of the Islamophobic mud-slinging at poor Zohran Mamdani, he still holds a double-digit lead over the Judas Iscariot of the Democratic Party, alleged sexual offender Andrew Cuomo. : Zohran Still Ahead. Andrew Cuomo cost NYS taxpayers $60m for his legal fees before resigning his governorship; he was fortunate that he wasn't prosecuted by NYSAG Letitia James. And here is the result of AIPAC's vicious Islamophobic campaign against Zohran Mamdani: Maniac Accosts Zohran. Below Curtis Sliwa and Jabba the Hutt doppelganger superrich John Catsimatidis.

"And give up showbusiness?"

Sliwa has always been about whatever's best for Sliwa.

Sliwa's claim to fame is he used to put on a ridiculous hat and beat up strangers on the subways with his gang. Why he thinks that qualifies him to be mayor we'll never know.

It's a wonder he's not in Trump's Cabinet.

Hi Corky: Both of these dimwits belong in Dummkopf Trumpf's cabinet. Eric Adams may have taken the bait, we'll see if he is nominated for a US Ambassadorship somewhere.

The sheer fact that Dummkopf Trumpf wants Zohran Mamdani to lose means Zohran is on the side of the good guys. Us.

So why would any Democrat oppose Zohran Mamdani?

Republicans and Democrats, working together to sink a liberal candidate.

Not at all surprising.

Democrats since Bill Clinton have been following in the footsteps of Ronald Reagan.

Meanwhile republicans have become the party of fascism and dictators.

Mamdani is a threat to all of them.

Republicans, oligarchs, and AIPAC Democrats are throwing everything at Muslim Zohran Mamdani except the kitchen sink.

No wait, here it comes!

"Money" is scared squatless of Mamdani and everything he represents. And they're mad he's too clean to do the sort of hatchet job they did on Eliot Spitzer.

#6: My friend personally knows Eliot Spitzer and said he could have been the first Jewish POTUS. I never got the chance to meet Eliot Spitzer for various reasons, including he was too busy being NYS Governor and I was too busy being just an old ho-hum Army guy.
